The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.Allocation of scarce resources is a central activity of governments
and a great number of international and national organizations,
often creating conflict between different stakeholders in these
organizations. Recent years have seen the development of game
theoretic models designed to understand the bargaining process
underlying these allocations, both in terms of their impact on
economic efficiency and on the share of resources allocated to
different stakeholders. Central to these models is the impact of
institutional rules and relative bargaining power on the allocation
of resources between competing factions. The present proposal is
designed to fund experiments to investigate the predictions of
these legislative bargaining models.Mershon Center for International Security StudiesProject summar
